Hello Rose Marie

    I used to use Sparex #2 all the time. A few years ago I started
    getting a brown sludge on the top. At first I would just wick it up
    with paper towel. Eventually this got to be a daily thing and the
    only things in the pickle were my copper tongs and the silver, gold,
    copper or bronze metals I was working with. After reading about PH
    minus from the hardware store I went and had a look. A larger amount
    for less $$ and all in a plastic container. It is interesting to note
    that this even seems to work faster and better. I will not be using
    Sparex #2 again. I will eventually try some Citric Acid but have not
    been able to find it in more that 1 oz containers yet.
